On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

January 1, 2013!

First day of the year 2013. I woke up to a bright and cold winter day with some snow on the ground from a storm yesterday with Scout snuggled in tight in a beautiful big king size bed full of warm quilts and happy. Did I mention happy? I have two healthy children who have two healthy families. I have a day off from work, and I have a job that I love, and a house full of groceries. I am blessed. We are blessed. Thank you Lord God. Thank you.

I didn't create a devotion this morning for my blog but I did write for the study group I am a part of at work. Encourage & Equip. The address is: http://encourageequip.blogspot.com/

'secret agent Christian' is the title of the article and it was spawned by listening to a broadcast by Chip Ingram. That man breaks down things in a way a child can understand (comes in very handy with me!) but he is so very intelligent and kind.

Prayer List

  • Thank you Father thank you.
  • Lord, extend the kingdom of your Son.
  • O Merciful God, who hast made all men, and hatest nothing that thou hast made, nor desirest the death of a sinner, but rather that he should be converted and live; Have mercy upon all who know thee not as thou are revealed in the Gospel of thy Son. Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.
  • God please take the blinders from my children's heart and eyes. Please give them the gift of faith. Lord God, faith in you is so comforting and brings so much joy. Thank you!
  • God please bless Michael, Lindsay, and their families with faith, wisdom, and compassion. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • God thank you for the gift of my co-workers who have shown me that it is good to show that I am a Christian. It is more than okay, it is imperative that my faith shows, so that others can come to know you. Please make me into a shining light for you. Give me the words, and your wisdom, and please don't let me cause anyone to stumble.
  • God please be with my family/friends as they go through this time in their lives. Please give them strength and courage and wisdom and faith Lord.
